We know how hard it is to find time for a luxurious LUSH fix some days; it’s even harder with little ones to care for too. We’re lucky to have so many hardworking mums as part of the LUSH team who somehow manage to carve out time for themselves, in some very inventive ways.

Shower Jellies were released in 2005 to celebrate LUSH’s 10th birthday, because it’s tradition in England to have ice cream and jelly at birthday parties. Not that we needed an excuse to add some fun in the shower!

2,540 kg/5,600 lbs of fresh lemons get zested, juiced and squeezed into our cosmetics each year. We love using lemons in our cosmetics because they’re cleansing, antibacterial, full of vitamin C, vitamins B1 and B2, and are a powerful antioxidant.

After working for years to revolutionize the beauty industry, they've been given this incredible honor that recognizes their pioneering work as cosmetic scientists, philanthropists and business leaders.
